Implieds seem to have stabilized in the 83 area, down substantially
from the 120 readings last week (on the Bert & WMT news). The
further out mounths are more expensive. The at-the-money Nov. 115
straddle breaks even at roughly 136 on the upside and 94 on the
downside. The "best buy" Nov. call is the out-of-the-money
Nov. 130c, trading for $4.56 with an implied of 73. The
"best buy" Nov. put is the Nov 120p, trading for $13.75, with
a premium of about $8.

The put/call ratio picture is mixed. I wouldn't get real serious
about going short as long the implied vols. continue to drop.
